'Suchwita (Time to Drink with SUGA)' returned with its 19th episode on October 17, where NELL's Kim Jong Wan sat down with SUGA for a deep talk about their music.

On this day, Kim Jong Wan and SUGA both revealed their musical inspiration and delved deep into their musical styles. In particular, Kim Jong Wan revealed why he decided to feature in SUGA's mix tape track "Dear My Friend."

The artist shared, "I've already listened to your music a lot. My criteria for doing a feature or a collaboration with an artist depends on the artist's portfolio. If you observe and follow someone's path and their work, you can tell if they truly love music. So I saw that your personality was quite strong. It was just how I thought. That's what I felt (so I agreed to feature in the song right away)." 

Kim Jong Wan also shared how he felt when he first received the demo track and explained, "As for 'Dear My Friend,' I was actually really scared. Because the guide vocals were done by Jungkook. It sounded so good!" He added, "At first, I was like, 'How do I sing this?'"

SUGA then revealed, "After that, our company told me to stop using Jungkook for the guide vocals," because people would feel too pressured. SUGA added, "I think Jungkook is an incredible vocalist. When I played the guide to other people, they said it had a unique vibe. And they would feel pressured, thinking to themselves, 'Would I be able to give off this vibe?'"

Kim Jong Wan agreed and shared, "I felt like that too at first. Jungkook's style is so distinct. I'm sure you sent me this song for me to sing in my own style but I kept wanting to copy Jungkook's style. Because it's so nice to listen to."

Kim Jong Wan also revealed that he focused on recording "Dear My Friend" and stopped all other projects. He shared, "I was working on something else then. But the first time I heard (the demo) I saw that the lyrics were really personal to you. So, I didn't want to tarnish the song. The lyrics were so real so I couldn't take this lightly. I really wanted to focus so I stopped everything else."
